1:56Now PlayingBBC Television Newsreel pays tribute to those agile labourers who risk their lives every day in the process of constructing Britain's tallest buildings. Winter brings added danger to these workers, as ice can form on the metal girders that they seem to scamper across with such easy nonchalance, while hands numbed by the bitter cold can become less sure in their hold.
Originally broadcast 9 January 1950.
